VERSACE * SALVATORE FERRAGAMO * VALENTINO * SWAROVSKI

 Versace  The quartz timepiece is a more elaborate reinterpretation of the model that Versace first introduced in 2008. Its stainless-steel 39-mm case is coated in an IP yellow-gold treatment and features the Versace logo. A Medusa symbol, the brand’s well-known icon, adorns the black enamel dial at 12 o’clock. Mini spheres lit up by the Clous de Paris decorative detailing float between the outer bezel and dial. The floating beads create a theme of motion, changing position as the wearer moves. The watch is water-resistant to 3 ATM and is mounted on a black crocodile strap. The Destiny Spirit retails for $1,000

Salvatore Ferragamo introduces GANCINO charms to its collection. This timepiece has a distinguishing small pendant in the shape of the brand’s iconic gancino on the side of its case. The gancino symbol also appears in a diamond outline on the watch’s guilloché dial. There are 12 brilliant-cut diamonds set on the rotating bezel at the 3 o’clock marker.

The quartz movement is housed in a 36-mm stainless-steel case with an integrated crown. Other versions of the watch feature colored stones set on the bezel: amethyst, smoky quartz, rhodolite and citrine. Each of these versions comes with a strap to match its stone. The retail price for this watch is $1,700

 

 Swarovski Watch Collection at Baselworld in March, the brand continues to build its name in the world of watchmaking with the release of a limited edition series. The Octea Sport, one of the limited watches from the collection, comes in two innovative colors: Capri Blue Satin and Smoky Quartz Satin.

A functional timepiece, the Octea Sport has a unidirectional rotating bezel and is water-resistant to 30 meters. Also adding to the watch’s practicality is its rubber strap, which is constructed from six applied tone-on-tone faceted crystals in either Capri Blue or Smoky Quartz Satin. Distinguishable features, such as the Swarovski Swan at 12 o’clock and the Swanflower symbol on the case back and strap, make this timepiece a recognizable Swarowski creation. Limited to only 999 pieces, the Octea Sport will be available in late October, in time for the fall and winter season.

 Valentino’s Rosier watch has a unique petal design extending from a yellow-gold case with a brushed finish. The petal design is based on the iconic Valentino logo. A polished top ring surrounds the curved sapphire crystal. The dial features diamond indexes at 3, 6, 9, and 12 o’clock. The timepiece has a Swiss made quartz movement with time-setting from the case back. The watch is mounted on a lizard strap with deployant buckle
